Cats Mah Jong

This download actually contains two program demos: 2D Cats Mah Jong and 3D Cats Mah Jong. Whether you buy either program rests almost solely on how charming you find the cat cartoons that decorate the tiles. We think the kitties are pretty darn cute, and the single, included song is pleasant. However, the 3D version runs extremely slowly, and the benefits of adding depth aren't apparent in the gameplay. Other than that, the programs play identically. You can add layouts to your list of favorites, toggle the music and sound effects with menu buttons, and save your game. However, you cannot customize layouts or add tile sets in the demo. You can only open the programs for a combined number of five uses, too, so you need to make up your mind quickly. Our main objection, besides the stingy demo, is that the games don't really play like traditional mahjong solitaire. The tile set contains four pairs of each image, rather than the normal two pairs, and the traditional layout isn't included. Cat lovers, however, might forgive Cats Mah Jong its faults.
